Hi
A new version of 'texi2html' has been uploaded to a server near you.
DESCRIPTION:
============
A highly customizable texinfo to HTML and other formats translator.
CYGWIN NEWS:
============
o Updated to latest upstream release
o Switched to cygport build framework
texi2html NEWS
==============
* NEW FEATURES
------------
* Transliterate accented characters in file names. Use Text::Unidecode
if detected.
* Handle @frenchspacing, @tie, @indent, @setcontentsaftertitlepage,
@setshortcontentsaftertitlepage and the obsolete @allow-recursion
and @quote-arg.
* With book style the Table of Contents is put where it is set.
* Use more numeric entities, especially for accented letters.
* The `examples' directory now contains an init file for Mediawiki output.
Mediawiki is the GPL'd wiki used by Wikipedia.
* new init file tex4ht.init. With this init file, httex or htlatex from
tex4ht is used to format @tex and @math.
* Init files now have a chance to override all file names, rather than just
page names.
* Put the images under a double licence by adding back their original GPL
licence.
* If SIMPLE_MENU is true the menu is simply enclosed in a preformatted
environment.
* The user can bypass the texi2html functions and provide his own function
to do things similar that what is done for interfacing with LaTeX2HTML
or tex4ht.
* LaTeX2HTML stuff is moved out of texi2html.pl, to T2h_l2h.pm.
* Add $USER and $DATE variables to override the defaults detected for the
footer.
* COMPATIBILITY
-------------
* $TOP_FILE and $TOC_FILE are only set if set by the user. The elements
file names are in the hash reference $Texi2HTML::THISDOC{'filename'}
for use in init files.
* The API for image, normal_text, paragraph and node_file_name has changed.
* The $ENCODING variable is deprecated, replaced by $ENCODING_NAME
and $OUT_ENCODING.
* utf8 is used as default out file encoding. This should allow for utf8
translations for languages which cannot use @-commands for non ascii
characters.
* Use entities for ``, '', ---, -- and quotes used for some formatting
@-commands if $USE_ISO is set.
* don't set unset MENU-ENTRY-NAME if it is similar with the NODE-NAME,
it is useless as it is a construct that shouldn't happen.
* avoid menu entry and description redundancy in the formatting function
and not in the main program.
* accept - in @-command names (compatibility with makeinfo)
* in user-defined macro arguments a comma in brace is escaped (compatibility
with makeinfo from texinfo 4.8.90)
* don't add the section title to the html title when the document isn't split
* BUG FIXES
---------
* When the file extension is set to the empty string, a trailing `.' will not
be automatically added to file names.
* The texi2html script is now created by make and not configure.
* It is possible to build the translation files from outside of the
build directory.
* When configure detects that no Data::Dumper is present, the build scripts
will simply copy the files instead of breaking.
* remove handling of quotation second arg, quotation has only one arg.
* handle nested ifset/ifclear.
* Improved handling of @sc and @centerchap.
* More flexible normal_text.
* style_stack really contains the formatting @-commands.
* caching of html generated by latex2html reenabled.
* when not split and no section navigation is output, the about page and
navigation direction are not output for all the elements.
* FOR DEVELOPERS
--------------
* Standardized on Automake 1.10.0
